Tracking people, training AI.
This week, Ben and Ethan discuss two major stories. The first involves an incident where a police officer was abusing his access to Flock camera databases to track a former partner's movement. The second looks at recent research that found that Chinese military research units have been accessing US frontier AI models to train their own models through a process called model distillation.
